The Stele of Sun Temple is located in Sun Temple Village, Sanyang Town, Jingshan County. It was carved in the 21st year of the Jiajing reign during the Ming Dynasty (1542). There are two stelae in total, sharing the same design, with a gable-shaped top and a base. Each stands 1.9 meters tall, 0.9 meters wide, and 0.185 meters thick. The steles record the historical development of Sun Temple, its surrounding environment, and the details of its renovation. They serve as important physical evidence for the study of local Buddhist propagation. (Fifth Batch)
